COOP

A New Chapter For Coop Kitchen

After nearly five years transforming the Griffin as the go-to burger and craft beer spot in Frome, the original founders, Hannah and Malc, are welcoming the core management team onto the board as co-owners in acknowledgement for all their awesome hard work post Covid to help drive the business forward. Jordan is running the kitchen, Georgie leading the bar and Rob and Lesley sharing the role of General Manager.

To celebrate the new collaborative nature of the business, they have rebranded to Coop Kitchen with one eye on festivals and pop-ups (you can find them at Bristol’s Wing Fest) and another on new horizons. From festival tent dining to veg box and weekly changing burger specials delivered to the door over lockdown, the brand has grown to a whole new level and outgrown the small kitchen at the Griffin.

After exploring several kitchen expansion options in-house, they took over the keys to the Artisan and have started transforming the premises to become the new home of Coop Kitchen.

Opening from the first bank holiday weekend, the Artisan will be taken back to its original name of The Ship, and transformed from gastro pub to a very special place fitting its location at the top of Catherine Street and Badcox. The venue may be different but everything else will remain the same, with all the team moving to the new location, the food Frome loves, just a little bit easier to grab a table indoors and outdoors. Lucky Frome!
